How do you disable the afm

You wouldn't need a full engine rebuild, just a DOD delete kit.
Here's a complete list of parts needed to a DOD delete. This is a pretty in depth install using quality parts. Doing this on a stock truck you wouldn't need to spend as much. Especially if you were capable of doing this yourself.

You can disable the AFM/DOD through a tune via BB or a reputable local tuner.

You could also get the range device.

flip it into N and see if it goes away. It could be the torque converter clutch not wanting to disengage when coming to a stop.

Check the U-Joints? 200,000 miles, probably need replaced anyhow. :)

So ordered the black bear tune... Excited but have tried a few things like putting the tranny in 3rd and the vibration is gone so I believe it's the AFM and trust that the tune is going to take care of it

Happy to report... That I just installed my BlackBear Tune... It is what we needed all along, vibration is gone...
Tahoe runs a whole lot better, and I should have done this years ago....

If you don't have a BB Tune... Don't wait do it
